Zsh calls geany in the same window where zsh is, and then that geany calls the other geany using a private protocol and hands off the file. Zsh doesn't know about any of this, all it can tell is that the local geany started and then stopped. } Geany is the only program I can think of } that does that sort of thing, which is a good reason why zsh might } not want anything to do with it. Lots of GUI programs do this, e.g., many web browsers can be started from the command line with an option to hand off the URL to any existing open browser window. That sort of thing is usually the command that is hiding behind the launcher icons on your desktop. gvim has this option too, I believe.
